Thank you for your service.
Yeah I suspect our media and it's ubiquity around the world is why so many foreigners are Ameriboos despite stories like the OP posted.
To be fair you have to have a high IQ to enjoy Rick and Morty etc etc...

Has anyone in here posted the "I have over 300 confirmed kills" copy pasta yet?
For one, they'll fight tooth and nail not replace things. When there is absolutely no way that heater can be patched up and run a little longer they'll replace it with the cheapest heater possible using the cheapest HVAC guy possible.
When buying a house people tell you to make sure the roof is in good condition because that'll be expensive to replace. What they don't tell you is that is all the other things that you may need to replace and how expensive they are. Fence, paint, siding, water heater, washer/dryer, AC, heater, kitchen appliances, etc. Some this might show up in the inspection report, but it's hard to get a good idea of what it'll cost beforehand. Also your realtor will have an incentive to downplay any problems to get the deal done.
It's like how in the states the people most afraid of minorities are the suburbanites who never see them anyway.
It's pretty funny but also left me with a really creepy bad taste of Bill Maher.
